A focus of most all Naturalists at Large programming is the interaction of the individual with the group. The needs of both must be met through the development of cooperation, leadership and problem solving skills.
![Page 30: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The facilitation of activities, with the emphasis on our interaction with the environment and each other, promotes awareness of each individual’s role in making the group experience a positive one.
![Page 31: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Naturalists at Large ropes program is designed to introduce all students to this exciting activity. Students learn to work together and cooperate towards a common goal. Ropes instruction is complemented by challenge and initiative games that will foster greater group interaction.
![Page 32: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Lessons learned include trust in fellow students, increased ability to focus, and development of self-esteem. The few climbing skills acquired by the students focus on a safe and successful experience. The organization of ground school preparation and ropes sites are designed with this philosophy in mind.

This is accomplished by introducing them to the natural and cultural history of the surrounding area while they explore the trails and study the various habitats.
Students will discover the unique natural and human history of the area, develop group cooperation through shared experiences, enhance leadership abilities, and learn basic outdoor skills. Naturalists at Large programs are designed to give the students a "sense of place".

The Cedar Lake Camp is a fully self contained site with a variety of hiking trails, a year round lake and all camp facilities nestled within the National Forest.
![Page 42: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Students are constantly encouraged to solve problems posed by the Naturalists at Large instructors, comprised of both intellectual problems and well thought-out and well executed physical problems (i.e. initiative activities). Each trail group is with a Naturalists at Large naturalist-instructor, and a faculty or parent chaperon each day for the entire program.

Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
![Page 57: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
![Page 58: Cedar Lake: Naturalists at Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042713/548a946fb479598b0a8b4714/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Plastic bag protection. A half dozen, 1 or 2 gallon storage ziplocks are good for protecting clothing in a gear bag from moisture. Along with a couple hefty 15 to 30 gallon bags to line your gear bag and sleeping bag (& daypack).
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
